"Many thanks, Senior Brother Changkong. Heizi happens to need people to help refine pills right now, hehe..."
Heizi's smile gave people the impression that he was rather simple-minded.
That Senior Brother Changkong clearly knew his temperament long ago. After refining pills continuously for more than five months, he had long since been unable to endure it. He waved at Heizi and followed the path back.
Heizi gave a dry laugh before saying to Qin Shaofeng, "Brother, come with me. I'll take you to see where we refine pills. You've only just entered the sect. Although many people won't bully you, they also won't truly teach you anything about pill refinement. With Heizi here, you can rest assured."
Qin Shaofeng had originally felt quite reassured.
Yet after hearing Heizi's words, he became somewhat unsettled instead.
From his years of dealing with people, anyone capable of saying such things was usually not normal.
Hopefully Heizi did not belong to that sort.
The pill chambers were an enormous complex of courtyards, with all manner of defensive formations between each one.
Following Heizi along the way, Qin Shaofeng saw quite a few courtyards still under repair.
Their original appearances could no longer be made out.
However, judging from how every courtyard being repaired looked more or less the same, those courtyards had likely originally been identical.
Looking at it this way, those courtyards seemed to have suffered the aftermath of repeated pill furnace explosions.
Heizi seemed not to notice the expressions on Qin Shaofeng and Chen Qingyi's faces as he pulled them onward.
Not long afterward.
When they reached the last... courtyard in this area?
No!
Other than the defenses still being present, it was impossible to tell where the courtyard was.
If it had to be described, only "giant crater" could do it
